It's been quite a ride.

This happened because leadership hopeful Andrea Leadsom, who's been under fire for suggesting May would be a worse PM because she doesn't have children, stood down this morning. She denied she made those comments even though it is exactly what she said.

May herself was in Birmingham giving a speech – and swiftly travelled back to London once the Leadsom news filtered through.

We were reminded that because the Queen invites the leader of the party with the most House of Commons seats to form the next government, May will become PM while sipping a cup of tea, in a palace, because Britain.

Seeking clarity on the day's events, Robert Cooper (the alter ego of comedy writer Robert Popper) phoned Conservative party HQ to ask what was going on. And whether pigeon wrestling would be coming back.

As if things couldn't get any more chaotic, don't forget the Labour party has its own crisis right now, and while all this was happening Angela Eagle was launching her bid to become Labour leader. Her campaign branding looked familiar.

Appropriately, it looks like her signature reads "Argh!"

And in a stroke of cosmically bad luck, Leadsom's withdrawal was announced DURING EAGLE'S SPEECH, prompting the assembled journalists to hotfoot it to Westminster, which led to this Q&A session: The Most Cringeworthy Moment of Politics This Year So Far.

Maybe Eagle would consider this tech-savvy way to reach party members.

The main thing about Eagle is she has the 50 nominations she needs to mount a leadership challenge against Labour's current leader, Jeremy Corbyn, who is defiantly staying put despite a vote of no confidence.

Meanwhile, David Cameron, who you might remember from the era of stable, predictable politics 17 days ago, looks like he'll take part in his last Prime Minister's Questions this Wednesday, possibly using a silly voice.

And it's unlikely Larry the 10 Downing Street cat will be moving out too.

Cameron rounded things off nicely by strolling back into Number 10 to enjoy his last 48 hours there while singing a little song. Reports that it was the opening strains of the West Wing theme tune could not be confirmed.
